This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-mtk/5.15.0-1030.34
kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and
update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the
tag 'verification-needed-jammy-linux-mtk' to 'verification-done-jammy-
linux-mtk'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-
needed-jammy-linux-mtk' to 'verification-failed-jammy-linux-mtk'.


If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.


See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Title:

  [Impact]

  When building the Jammy linux-bluefield kernel tree on a system
  without pahole installed, the following warning is emitted:

  ./scripts/pahole-flags.sh: line 7: return: can only `return' from a
  function or sourced script

  scripts/pahole-flags.sh attempts to return from an if statement that
  is not within a function, and generates a warning.

  The fix is straightforward, changing return to an exit 0.

  [Testcase]

  Clone the linux-bluefield kernel tree and build it on a arm64 system without
  pahole installed.

  A test kernel is available with the fix applied in:

  Both linux-bluefield and ubuntu-jammy build correctly.

  [Fix]

  This was fixed by Linus Torvalds in the following merge commit:

  commit fc02cb2b37fe2cbf1d3334b9f0f0eab9431766c4
  Merge: bfc484fe6abb 84882cf72cd7
  Author: Linus Torvalds <torva...@linux-foundation.org>
  Date:   Tue Nov 2 06:20:58 2021 -0700
  Subject: Merge tag 'net-next-for-5.16' of 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
  Link: 
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=fc02cb2b37fe2cbf1d3334b9f0f0eab9431766c4

  Note, the original commit does not have the fix included:

  commit 9741e07ece7c247dd65e1aa01e16b683f01c05a8
  Author: Jiri Olsa <jo...@redhat.com>
  Date:   Fri Oct 29 14:57:29 2021 +0200
  Subject: kbuild: Unify options for BTF generation for vmlinux and modules
  Link: 
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=9741e07ece7c247dd65e1aa01e16b683f01c05a8

  The Ubuntu kernel cherry-picked the original commit and did not pick up the
  silent fix made in the merge commit. Submitting the silent fix as a SAUCE 
patch
  with changelog describing the change.

  Note: I know SAUCE patches are bad, but in this scenario, to revert
  the initial commit and re-apply the fixed version would require us to
  revert two additional dependency commits, making six patches to
  review, vs, a one line change in a SAUCE commit that has a real
  changelog entry.

  [Where problems could occur]

  The Ubuntu kernel is built with pahole enabled, and requires pahole to
  be installed as a build dependency. It is extremely unlikely that any
  users are disabling pahole at build time, apart from linux-bluefield
  engineers.

  If a regression were to occur, engineers would see errors during build
  time about scripts/pahole-flags.sh not executing properly.

  [Other info]

  Linus remarked about the issue in the following lkml discussion:
